Answer:

9.54 AU

Explanation:

Kepler's Third law of motion would be used. According to it, the square of orbital period (P) is proportional to the cube of average distance (a).

P² = a³

where, P is in years and a is in AU.

Given P = 29.46 years

Substitute the values as follows:

(29.46)² = a³

\Rightarrow a= \sqrt[3]{867.9}=9.54 AU

Thus, the average distance between the Sun and Saturn is 9.54 AU.

Keplers 3rd law tells us that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis if the planet.

p^2 = a^3

So if the orbital period is 29.46 years, then:

(29.46)^2 = a^3

867.8916 = a^3

9.54 au = a

So the average distance between Saturn and the Sun is 9.54 au

au = atronomical units. 

idk if i did this right, its been a while

Compare the environmental consequences related to obtaining the three major types of fossil fuels.
Allushta [10]
All three are bad for the environment because all three types release CO2 into the air and have throughout their constant usage helped with creating the greenhouse effect that traps heat and causes global warming. That's why clean energy is a necessity and people are developing harnessing wind and solar power.

The amount of energy your body uses to maintain body functions during complete rest at room temperature is called

Metabolism (aka basal metabolic rate)!

How I remember this is the amount of energy someone in a coma would need to maintain a healthy weight

Hope this helped!

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.
mojhsa [17]
The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>
